Are you ready?
About the course
This is the foundational Uncovery course. If you are new, or have already joined us, this is a great introduction or refresher to The Wonderland.
We will meet once a week for four weeks over Zoom, exploring these topics and more:
Week One
Introduction into the exploration:
Why explore?
What if I don’t understand?
The Mind:
What has been learned but not explored about “my mind”?
Where is it? What is it? Why does it feel like “my mind”?
The brain/mind as an objectifying machine and recognizing the facts of this
What is confusion?
“It’s so hard to control your thoughts when you arise and exist within them.”
Week Two
Thought:
What it does to create an illusion of separation
What is NOT thought and how does one know?
How is thought not personal?
How language creates separtaion
“But as humans we have learned a language and a world has been constructed out of stardust and imagination, and thoughts seem to paint stories that we tell and share, or really, thoughts seem to paint stories that we are, and underneath the stories there is no thing at all.”
Week Three
Beliefs:
What has been learned but not questioned about what they are?
Who/what is the holder of beliefs?
Is there a self separate from belief?
What to beliefs have to do with patterns, habits, conditioning?
Where does behavior come from?
Behavior as information
“Part of the belief system of the self is the idea that you can change your beliefs and leave yourself unscathed.”
Week Four
Awakening/enlightenment
What has been learned about this concept, but not questioned?
What is awakening/enlightenment and who “has” it/realizes it?
What does “this is it” mean?
“If any and all divisions on the Cosmic Screen are only illusory, then how is any individual enlightenment even possible? In other words, what separate being is really ‘there’ to be ‘enlightened’ (or, for that matter, to be un-enlightened) in the first place?”
Who is this course for?
You are curious about your experience of life and why suffering seems to happen.
You are searching to understand anxiety, depression, habits.
You are open to exploring ideas that may seem counter-intuitive to how you have been experiencing life thus far.
You are open to sharing, asking questions and participating in the conversation, whatever that looks like for you.
You have worked with me privately, or in The Little School of Big Change…and you resonate with me!
